Dario Carmona Beltran

Hobo

The support I received from Stichting Eigen Muziekinstrument (SEM) has made it possible for me to purchase a new oboe, which has had a profound impact on my musical development and daily practice. As a conservatory student who is starting to immerse into the professional music world, the quality of my instrument plays a crucial role.

This new instrument allows me to express myself more freely and comfortably while playing. It responds well to my intentions and supports me in developing my sound and musical ideas without technical limitations holding me back. As a result, my practice feels more productive and inspiring, and I am better prepared for lessons, rehearsals, and performances. The instrument also gives me greater confidence when playing with others or performing in public, which is an essential part of my training as a musician.

Beyond the practical benefits, this instrument has become a strong source of motivation for me. It pushes me to explore music more deeply and to shape my own artistic voice with greater confidence. The support from SEM has therefore meant more than the purchase of an instrument; it has directly contributed to my growth as a musician over the long term.
